NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into a variety of undertakings containing a variety of warranties and indemnifications that may expose the Company to some risk of loss. The risk of future loss arising from such undertakings, while not quantifiable, is expected to be remote.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

CONSOLIDATION

As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946-810, Consolidation (“ASC 946-810”), the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly-owned investment company or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company for the periods during which it was held.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits held at custodian banks, and highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, with original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in bank accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 assets and are included on the Company’s schedule of investments. Certain cash equivalents are carried at cost or amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and investments held in money market funds are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) per share.

INVESTMENT VALUATION

The Company determines its investment portfolio at fair value in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) and Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”). Estimates made in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. The Company believes that there is no single definitive method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments the Company makes. The Company is required to specifically fair value each individual investment on a quarterly basis.

ASC 820-10 clarified the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active; and Level3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company considers the attributes of current market conditions on an on-going basis and has determined that due to the general illiquidity of the market for its investment portfolio, whereby little or no market data exists, all of the Company’s investments are based upon Level 3 inputs as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Board of Directors determines the value of its investment portfolio each quarter. In connection with that determination, members of Oxford Square Management’s portfolio management team prepare a quarterly analysis of each portfolio investment using the most recent portfolio company financial statements, forecasts and other relevant financial and operational information. The Company has and may continue to engage third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain of its syndicated loans and bilateral investments, including related equity investments, although the Board of Directors ultimately determines the appropriate valuation of each such investment. Changes in fair value, as described above, are recorded in the statements of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Syndicated Loans (Including Senior Secured Notes)

In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company’s valuation procedures specifically provide for the review of indicative quotes supplied by the large agent banks that make a market for each security. However, the marketplace from which the Company obtains indicative bid quotes for purposes of determining the fair value of its syndicated loan investments has shown attributes of illiquidity as described by ASC 820-10. During such periods of illiquidity, when the Company believes that the non-binding indicative bids received from agent banks for certain syndicated loan investments that it owns may not be determinative of their fair value, or when no market indicative quote is available, the Company has and may continue to engage third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain syndicated investments that the Company owns. The third-party valuation firms may use the income or market approach in arriving at a valuation. Unobservable inputs utilized could include discount rates derived from estimated credit spreads and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. In addition, Oxford Square Management analyzes each syndicated loan by reviewing the portfolio company’s financial statements, covenant compliance and recent trading activity in the security, if known, and other business developments related to the portfolio company. All available information, including non-binding indicative bids which may not be determinative of fair value, is presented to the Company’s Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) to consider in its determination of fair value. In some instances, there may be limited trading activity in a security even though the market for the security is considered not active. In such cases, the Valuation Committee will consider the number of trades, the size and timing of each trade, and other circumstances around such trades, to the extent such information is available, in its determination of fair value. The Valuation Committee will evaluate the impact of such additional information, and factor it into its consideration of the fair value that is indicated by the analysis provided by third-party valuation firms, if any. All information is presented to the Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.

Collateralized Loan Obligations — Debt and Equity

The Company has acquired debt and equity positions in CLO investment vehicles and can purchase CLO warehouse facilities. These investments are special purpose financing vehicles. In valuing such investments, the Company considers the indicative prices provided by a recognized industry pricing service as a primary source, and the implied yield of such prices, supplemented by actual trades executed in the market at or around period-end, as well as the indicative prices provided by the broker who arranges transactions in such investment vehicles. The Company also considers those instances in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on or before the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require a downward adjustment to the indicative price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. Additional factors include any available information on other relevant transactions including firm bids and offers in the market and information resulting from bids-wanted-in-competition. In addition, the Company considers the operating metrics of the specific investment vehicle, including compliance with collateralization tests, defaulted and restructured securities, and payment defaults, if any. In periods of illiquidity and volatility, the Company may rely more heavily on other qualities and metrics, including but not limited to, the collateral manager, time left in the reinvestment period, expected cash flows and overcollateralization ratios, instead of the Company’s generated valuation yields. Oxford Square Management or the Valuation Committee may request an additional analysis by a third-party firm to assist in the valuation process of CLO investment vehicles. All information is presented to the Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Bilateral Investments (Including Equity)

Bilateral investments (as defined below) for which market quotations are readily available are valued by an independent pricing agent or market maker. If such market quotations are not readily available, under the valuation procedures approved by the Board, upon the recommendation of the Valuation Committee, a third-party valuation firm will prepare valuations for each of OXSQ’s bilateral investments that, when combined with all other investments in the same portfolio company, have a value as of the previous quarter of greater than or equal to 2.0% of its total assets as of the previous quarter. In addition, in those instances where a third-party valuation is prepared for a portfolio investment which meets the parameters noted above, the frequency of those third-party valuations is based upon the grade assigned to each such security under its credit grading system as follows: Grade1, at least annually; Grade2, at least semi-annually; Grades3,4, and5, at least quarterly. Bilateral investments which do not meet the parameters above are not required to have a third-party valuation and, in those instances, a valuation analysis will be prepared by Oxford Square Management. All information is presented to the Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.

The term “Bilateral investments” means debt and equity investments directly negotiated between the Company and a portfolio company, but excludes syndicated loans (i.e., corporate loans arranged by an agent on behalf of a company, portions of which are held by multiple investors in addition to OXSQ).

Refer to “Note 4. Fair Value” in the notes to the Company’s financial statements for more information on investment valuation and the Company’s portfolio of investments.

INVESTMENT INCOME

Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis using the contractual rate applicable to each debt investment and includes the accretion of market discounts and/or original issue discount (“OID”) and amortization of market premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company generally restores non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Company’s judgment, is likely to remain current. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had three debt investments that were on non-accrual status.

Interest income also includes a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) component on certain investments in the Company’s portfolio. Refer to the section below, “Payment-In-Kind,” for a description of PIK income and its impact on interest income.

Payment-In-Kind

The Company has debt and preferred stock investments in its portfolio that contain contractual PIK provisions. PIK interest and preferred stock dividends are computed at their contractual rates and are accrued into income and recorded as interest and dividend income, respectively. The PIK amounts are added to the principal balances on

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

the capitalization dates. Upon capitalization, the PIK portions of the investments are valued at their respective fair values. If the Company believes that a PIK is not fully expected to be realized, the PIK investment would be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends would be reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status once it becomes probable that such PIK will be ultimately collectible in cash. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no PIK interest was recognized as interest income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no PIK dividends on the Company’s preferred stock investments were recognized as dividend income.

Income from Securitization Vehicles and Investments

Income from investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles (typically income notes or subordinated notes) is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon estimated cash flows, amounts and timing, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. We monitor the expected residual payments, and effective yield is determined and updated periodically, as needed. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity securities in the statements of operations differs from both the tax-basis investment income and from the cash distributions actually received by the Company during the period.

The Company also records income on its investments in CLO warehouse facilities based on a stated rate per the underlying note purchase agreement plus accrued interest or, if there is no stated rate, then an estimated rate is calculated using a base case model projecting the timing of the ramp-up of the CLO warehouse facility. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no income was recognized related to CLO warehouse facilities. As of September30, 2023 and December31, 2022, the Company did not hold any investments in CLO warehouse facilities.

Other Income

Other income includes prepayment, amendment, and other fees earned by the Company’s loan investments, distributions from fee letters and success fees associated with portfolio investments. Distributions from fee letters are an enhancement to the return on a CLO equity investment and are based upon a percentage of the collateral manager’s fees above the amortized cost, and are recorded as other income when earned. The Company may also earn success fees associated with its investments in certain securitization vehicles or CLO warehouse facilities, which are contingent upon a repayment of the warehouse by a permanent CLO securitization structure; such fees are earned and recognized when the repayment is completed.

Preferred Stock Dividends

The Company holds preferred stock investments in its portfolio that contain cumulative preferred dividends that accumulate quarterly. The Company will generally record cumulative preferred dividends as investment income when they are received or declared by the portfolio company’s board of directors or upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the portfolio company, and are collectible. There were no cumulative preferred dividends recorded as dividend income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, as the Company deemed them to be uncollectible.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

DEFERRED DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

Deferred debt issuance costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the closing or amending of credit facilities and debt offerings, and are capitalized at the time of payment. These costs are amortized using the straight line method over the terms of the respective credit facilities and debt securities. The amortized expenses are included in interest expense in the Company’s financial statements. The unamortized deferred debt issuance costs are included on the Company’s statements of assets and liabilities as a direct deduction from the related debt liability. Upon early termination or partial principal pay down of debt, or a credit facility, the unamortized costs related to such debt are accelerated into realized losses on extinguishment of debt on the Company’s statements of operations.

EQUITY OFFERING COSTS

Equity offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration and public offer and sale of the Company’s common stock, including legal, accounting and printing fees. These costs are deferred at the time of incurrence and are subsequently charged as a reduction to capital when the offering takes place or as shares are issued. Deferred costs are periodically reviewed and expensed if the related registration is no longer active.

SHARE REPURCHASES

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of specific identification. An optional redemption (“optionally redeemed”) feature of a CLO allows a majority of the holders of the equity securities issued by the CLO issuer, after the end of a specified non-call period, to cause the redemption of the secured notes issued by the CLO with proceeds paid either through the liquidation of the CLO’s assets or through a refinancing with new debt. The optional redemption is effectively a voluntary prepayment of the secured debt issued by the CLO prior to the stated maturity of such debt. Distributions received on CLO equity investments where the optional redemption feature has been exercised are first applied to the remaining cost basis until it is reduced to zero, after which distributions are recorded as realized gains.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and, as such, to not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains timely distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, OXSQ is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income annually, meet diversification requirements quarterly and file Form 1120-RIC, as defined by the Code.

Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in

the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Through September 30, 2023, management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in the Company’s 2023 tax returns. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S Federal and the state of Connecticut. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes, nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company files tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and the state of Connecticut. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended September 30, 2023 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

For tax purposes, the cost basis of the portfolio investments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was approximately $490,055,958 and $536,518,866, respectively.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” The amendments in this update provide that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sales restrictions. ASU 2022-03 is required for years beginning after December 15, 2023. Though early adoption is permitted, the Company does not expect ASU 2022-03 to have a material impact to the financial statements and the notes thereto.

Significant Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Investments

The following tables provide quantitative information about the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company’s Valuation Policy, which was previously approved by the Board, establishes parameters for the sources and types of valuation analysis, as well as the methodologies and inputs that the Company uses in determining fair value. If the Valuation Committee or Oxford Square Management determines that additional techniques, sources or inputs are appropriate or necessary in a given situation, such additional work will be undertaken. The tables, therefore, are not all-inclusive, but provide information on the significant Level 3 inputs that are pertinent to the Company’s fair value measurements. The weighted average calculations in the tables below are based on fair values for all debt related calculations and CLO equity.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE (cont.)

(2)The impact on the fair value measurement of an increase in each unobservable input is in isolation. The discount rate is the rate used to discount future cash flows in a discounted cash flow calculation. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Market Multiples/EBITDA refer to the input (often derived from the value of a comparable company) that is multiplied by the historic and/or expected EBITDA of a company in order to estimate the company’s value. An increase in the Market Multiples/EBITDA, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement.

(3)The Company generally uses prices provided by an independent pricing service, or broker or agent bank non-binding indicative bid prices (“NBIB”), on or near the valuation date as the primary basis for the fair value determinations for syndicated notes, and CLO debt and equity investments, which may be adjusted for pending equity distributions as of valuation date. These bid prices are non-binding, and may not be determinative of fair value. Each bid price is evaluated by the Valuation Committee in conjunction with additional information compiled by Oxford Square Management, including financial performance, recent business developments, and, in the case of CLO debt and equity investments, performance and covenant compliance information as provided by the independent trustee.

(4)Prices provided by independent pricing services are evaluated in conjunction with actual trades and payoffs and, in certain cases, the value represented by actual trades or payoffs may be more representative of fair value as determined by the Valuation Committee.

(5)The calculation of weighted average for a range of values, for a single investment within a given asset category, is not considered to provide a meaningful representation (“ncm”).

(6)The Company calculates the fair value of certain CLO equity investments based upon the net present value of expected contractual payment streams discounted using estimated market yields for the equity tranche of the respective CLO vehicle. The Company also considers those investments in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on or before the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require an adjustment to the transaction price representing substantially all of the pending distribution.

(7)Discount rate represents the rate at which future cash flows are discounted to calculate a present value, reflecting market assumptions for risk.

(8)Enterprise value is defined as the total value of a company, including debt and cash. For senior secured notes and equity investments, third-party valuation firms evaluate the financial and operational information of the portfolio companies that the Company provides to them, as well as independent market and industry information that they consider appropriate in forming an opinion as to the fair value of the Company’s securities. In those instances where the carrying value and/or internal credit rating of the investment does not require the use of a third-party valuation firm, a valuation is prepared by Oxford Square Management, which may include liquidation analysis or which may utilize a subsequent transaction to provide an indication of fair value.

(9)EBITDA, or earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, is an unobservable input which is generally based on the most recently available twelve month financial statements provided by the portfolio company. Market multiples, also an unobservable input, represent an estimation of where market participants might value an enterprise based upon information available for comparable companies in the market. “LTM” refers to “last twelve months.”

(10)The fair value of those CLO equity positions which have been optionally redeemed are generally valued using a liquidation net asset value basis which represents the estimated expected residual value of the CLO as of the end of the period.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company pays Oxford Square Management a fee for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of — a base investment advisory fee (the “Base Fee”) based on its gross assets, as described below, and two types of incentive fees. The cost of both the Base Fee and any incentive fees earned by Oxford Square Management are ultimately borne by the Company’s common stockholders.

As described in greater detail under Item 1. Business — Investment Advisory Agreement — Advisory Fee in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company first calculates the Base Fee and any incentive fee under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, then calculates the Base Fee and any incentive fee under the terms of the fee waiver letter unilaterally adopted by Oxford Square Management, effective April 1, 2016 (the “2016 Fee Waiver”), and, finally, adopts the lower of two combined results as the total fees payable to Oxford Square Management.

Base Fee

The Base Fee is payable quarterly in arrears, calculated based on a percentage of the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately prorated for any partial quarter. Accordingly, the Base Fee will be payable regardless of whether the value of the Company’s gross assets has decreased during the quarter.

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Base Fee is calculated at an annual rate of 2.00%, and appropriately adjusted for any equity or debt capital raises, repurchases, or redemptions during the current calendar quarter.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

Under the terms of the 2016 Fee Waiver, for the purpose of calculating the amount of total advisory fees (if any) to be waived during a particular calendar quarter, the Base Fee (as a portion of the total calculation) is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50%, and adjusted pro rata for any share issuances, debt issuances, repurchases or redemptions during the current calendar quarter; provided, however, that no Base Fee is payable on the cash proceeds received by the Company in connection with any share or debt issuances until such proceeds have been invested in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives.

The following table represents the portion of the total advisory fee ascribed to the Base Fee (pursuant to the 2016 Fee Waiver calculation) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

($ in millions)		Three Months Ended September 30, 2023			Three Months Ended September 30, 2022			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Base Fee		$	1.2		$	1.4		$	3.6		$	4.6

The Base Fee payable to Oxford Square Management as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $1,183,941 and $1,323,573, respectively.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fees are commonly referred to as the “Income Incentive Fee” and the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee,” with the first fee payable quarterly in arrears and the second fee payable in arrears at the end of each calendar year.

Net Investment Income Incentive Fee

The first fee (the “Net Investment Income Incentive Fee”), is determined by reference to the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” (as defined below). Given that this incentive fee is payable without regard to any gain, loss or unrealized depreciation that may occur during the quarter, Oxford Square Management’s incentive fee may be payable notwithstanding a decline in net asset value that quarter.

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is calculated based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

•For this purpose, “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

•Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to one-fourth of an annual “hurdle rate.” The annual hurdle rate is determined as of the immediately preceding December 31st by adding 5.0% to the interest rate then payable on the most recently issued five-year U.S. Treasury Notes, up to a maximum annual hurdle rate of 10.0%. The annual hurdle rates for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years, calculated as of the immediately preceding December 31st, were 8.99% and 6.26% respectively, under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Company’s net investment income (to the extent not distributed to shareholders) used to calculate the Net Investment Income Incentive Fee was also included in the amount of gross assets used to calculate the 2% Base Fee.

a.The operation of the incentive fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for each quarter is as follows:

i.no incentive fee is payable to Oxford Square Management in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed one fourth of the annual hurdle rate (8.99% for the 2023 calendar year).

ii.20% of the amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds one-fourth of the annual hurdle rate (8.99% for the 2023 calendar year) in any calendar quarter is payable to Oxford Square Management (i.e., once the hurdle rate is reached, 20% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter will be allocated to Oxford Square Management).

Under the terms of the 2016 Fee Waiver, for the purpose of calculating the amount of total advisory fees (if any) to be waived during a particular calendar quarter, the Income Incentive Fee (as a portion of the total calculation) is calculated based on the amount by which (x) the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” (as defined below) for the calendar quarter exceeds (y) the “Preferred Return Amount” (as defined below) for the calendar quarter.

a.A “Preferred Return Amount” is calculated on a quarterly basis by multiplying 1.75% by the Company’s net asset value at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

b.The Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is then calculated as follows:

(a)no Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is payable to Oxford Square Management in any calendar quarter in which the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” does not exceed the “Preferred Return Amount”;

(b)100% of the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for such quarter, if any, that exceeds the “Preferred Return Amount” but is less than or equal to a “Catch-Up Amount” determined on a quarterly basis by multiplying 2.1875% by OXSQ’s net asset value at the end of such calendar quarter; and

(c)for any quarter in which the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” exceeds the “Catch-Up Amount,” the Net Investment Income Incentive Fee will be 20% of the amount of the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for such quarter.

c.There is no accumulation of amounts from quarter to quarter for the “Preferred Return Amount,” and accordingly there is no claw back of amounts previously paid to Oxford Square Management if the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for subsequent quarters is below the quarterly “Preferred

Return Amount,” and there is no delay of payment of incentive fees to Oxford Square Management if the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for prior quarters is below the quarterly “Preferred Return Amount” for the quarter for which the calculation is being made.

d.The calculation of the Company’s Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is subject to a total return requirement that provides that a Net Investment Income Incentive Fee will not be payable to Oxford Square Management except to the extent 20% of the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” (which is the amount, if positive, of the sum of the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income,” realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation) during the calendar quarter for which such fees are being calculated and the eleven (11) preceding quarters exceeds the cumulative Net Investment Income Incentive Fees accrued and/or paid for such eleven (11) preceding quarters.

In the event that the advisory fee calculations under the 2016 Fee Waiver produce a higher combined Base Fee and Net Investment Income Incentive Fee for any quarterly period, the combined fees are set to the original (lower) level, calculated pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. In the event that advisory fee calculations under the 2016 Fee Wavier produce a lower combined Base Fee and Net Investment Income Incentive Fee for that quarterly period, those lower combined fees are adopted for that quarterly period. In either case, the lower level of combined fees is used for that quarter, and, accordingly, the advisory fee payable to Oxford Square Management can only be reduced, and never increased, as a result of the 2016 Fee Waiver.

The following table represents the portion of the total advisory fee ascribed to Net Investment Income Incentive Fees (pursuant to the 2016 Fee Waiver calculation) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net Investment Income Incentive Fee		$	1.2		$	—		$	3.7		$	—

The Net Investment Income Incentive Fee payable to Oxford Square Management as of September 30, 2023 was $1,176,078. There was no Net Investment Income Incentive Fee payable to Oxford Square Management as of December 31, 2022.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee

The Capital Gains Incentive Fee, which is calculated identically under the Investment Advisory Agreement and under the 2016 Fee Waiver, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 20% of the Company’s “Incentive Fee Capital Gains,” which consists of its realized capital gains for each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation for that calendar year. For accounting purposes only, in order to reflect the theoretical Capital Gains Incentive Fee that would be payable for a given period as if all unrealized gains were realized, the Company will accrue a Capital Gains Incentive Fee based upon net realized gains and unrealized depreciation for that calendar year (in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement), plus unrealized appreciation on investments held at the end of the period. It should be noted that a fee so calculated and accrued would not necessarily be payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of Capital Gains Incentive Fees in subsequent periods. Amounts paid under the Investment Advisory Agreement will be consistent with the formula reflected in the Investment Advisory Agreement.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

The amount of Capital Gains Incentive Fee expense related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to Oxford Square Management in the event of a complete liquidation of the Company’s portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement on such date. Also, it should be noted that the Capital Gains Incentive Fee expense fluctuates with the Company’s overall investment results.

There were no Capital Gains Incentive Fees based on hypothetical liquidation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. There was no liability for Capital Gains Incentive Fees based on hypothetical liquidation as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Administration Agreement

The Company has also entered into the Administration Agreement with Oxford Funds under which Oxford Funds provides administrative services for the Company. The Company pays Oxford Funds an allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Oxford Funds on its behalf under the Administration Agreement, including a portion of the rent and the compensation of the chief financial officer, accounting staff and other administrative support personnel, which creates potential conflicts of interest that the Board must monitor. The Company also reimburses Oxford Funds for the costs associated with the functions performed by the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer that Oxford Funds pays on the Company’s behalf pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the Company and ACA Group, LLC.

Oxford Square Management is controlled by Oxford Funds, its managing member. Charles M. Royce, a member of the Board, holds a minority, non-controlling interest in Oxford Square Management. Oxford Funds manages the business and internal affairs of Oxford Square Management. Jonathan H. Cohen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as well as a Director, is the managing member of Oxford Funds. Saul B. Rosenthal, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, is also the President and Chief Operating Officer of Oxford Square Management and a member of Oxford Funds. Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal together control the equity interests in Oxford Funds.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred approximately $205,000 and $235,000, respectively, in compensation expenses for the services of employees allocated to the administrative activities of the Company, pursuant to the Administration Agreement with Oxford Funds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred approximately $662,000 and $689,000, respectively, in compensation expenses. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $19,000 and $15,000 for facility costs allocated under the Administration Agreement for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred approximately $57,000 and $45,000 for facility costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, there were accrued compensation expenses of approximately $43,000 payable under the Administration Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, there were accrued compensation expenses of approximately $31,000 payable under the Administration Agreement.

Co-Investment Exemptive Relief

On June 14, 2017, the SEC issued an order permitting the Company and certain of its affiliates to complete negotiated co-investment transactions in portfolio companies, subject to certain conditions (the “Order”). Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions to the Order, the Company and certain of its affiliates are permitted, together with any future BDCs, registered closed-end funds and certain private funds, each of whose investment adviser is Oxford Square Management or an investment adviser controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Oxford Square Management, to co-invest in negotiated investment opportunities where doing so would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, providing the Company’s stockholders with access to a broader array of investment opportunities.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

Pursuant to the Order, the Company is permitted to co-invest in such investment opportunities with its affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of its independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including, but not limited to, that (1) the terms of the potential co-investment transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and its stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the potential co-investment transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and is consistent with the Company’s then-current investment objective and strategies.

NOTE 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from net investment income and operations per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations per common share	$	0.12	$	(0.22	)	$	0.47	$	(1.26	)

NOTE 9. DISTRIBUTIONS

The Company intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under the Code and, as such, the Company would not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify to be taxed as a RIC, the Company is required, among other requirements, to distribute at least 90% of its annual investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. The amount to be paid out as a distribution each quarter is determined by the Board and is based upon the annual taxable income estimated by the management of the Company. Income calculated in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations differs substantially from GAAP income. To the extent that the Company’s cumulative undistributed taxable earnings fall below the amount of distributions declared, however, a portion of the total amount of the Company’s distributions for the fiscal year may be deemed a return of capital for tax purposes to the Company’s stockholders.

The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to RICs to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it of substantially all federal income taxes. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on such income. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income, if any, as required.

The Company has adopted an “opt out” distribution reinvestment plan for its common stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, then stockholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, unless they specifically “opt out” of the distribution reinvestment plan so as to receive cash distributions. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued 135,272 and 38,914shares, respectively, of common stock for approximately $389,000 and $128,000,

respectively, to stockholders in connection with the distribution reinvestment plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued 234,955 and 110,215shares, respectively, of common stock for approximately $680,000 and $399,000, respectively, to stockholders in connection with the distribution reinvestment plan. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as part of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan for its common stockholders, the Company’s dividend reinvestment administrator did not purchase any shares of common stock in the open market to satisfy the reinvestment portion of the Company’s dividends.

The following table reflects the distributions per share that the Company has paid in cash on its common stock since the beginning of 2023:

(1)Special distribution.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the Company is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

The tax character of distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, represented, on an estimated basis, $0.435 per share from ordinary income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates (based on an average of the reported tax character historically) and are not being provided for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes. The timing and character of distributions for U.S. federal income tax purposes (which are determined in accordance with the U.S. federal tax rules which may differ from GAAP) may be materially different than the historical information the Company used in providing the estimates herein. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2023 will be made after year-end and the amounts represented may be materially different from the amounts disclosed in the final Form 1099-DIV notice. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Company’s investment performance and may be subject to change based on tax regulations.

NOTE 10. NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

The Company’s net asset value per share as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, was $2.78 and $2.78, respectively. In determining the Company’s net asset value per share, the Board determined in good faith the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available.

NOTE 11. SHARE ISSUANCE AND REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

On August 22, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to that certain Equity Distribution Agreement dated August 1, 2019 with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. through which the Company may offer for sale, from time to time, up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock through an At-the-Market (“ATM”) offering. The Company sold a total of 1,427,423shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM offering during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The total amount of capital raised net of underwriting fees and offering costs was approximately $4.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

From time to time, the Board may authorize a share repurchase program under which shares are purchased in open market transactions. Since the Company is incorporated in Maryland, MGCL requires share repurchases to be accounted for as a share retirement. The cost of repurchased shares is charged against capital on the settlement date. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company was not authorized to repurchase any shares of outstanding common stock.

NOTE 12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On June 22, 2023, the Company completed a transferable rights offering, issuing approximately 6.5 million shares at a subscription price of $2.66 per share.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company received no fee income for managerial assistance.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies.

(1)Represents per share net investment income for the period, based upon weighted average shares outstanding.

(2)Net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) include rounding adjustments to reconcile change in net asset value per share.

(3)Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the extent the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Company’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders. The ultimate tax character of the Company’s earnings cannot be determined until tax returns are prepared after the end of the fiscal year. The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates (based on an average of the reported tax character historically) and are not being provided for U.S. tax reporting purposes.

(4)Total return based on market value equals the increase or decrease of ending market value over beginning market value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning market value, assuming distribution reinvestment prices obtained under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan, excluding any discounts. Total return is not annualized.

(5)Total return based on net asset value equals the increase or decrease of ending net asset value over beginning net asset value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning net asset value. Total return is not annualized.

(6)Ratios for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are annualized and include non-recurring expenses, including excise tax of 0.36% and 0.59% of average net assets, respectively, which are not annualized.

NOTE 16. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Government spending, government policies, including recent increases in certain interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve, and disruptions in supply chains in the United States and elsewhere in conjunction with other factors have led and could continue to lead to inflationary economic environments that could affect the Company’s portfolio companies, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has exposure to interest rate risks to the extent prevailing interest rates change and it could negatively affect the fair value of the Company’s investments. If interest rates continue to rise in response to inflation, the value, volatility and liquidity of income paying investments could be adversely affected. Market volatility, dramatic change to interest rates and/or unfavorable economic conditions may lower performance or impair the Company’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The occurrence of any of the above events could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Company’s investments.

Although it is difficult to predict the extent of the impact of economic disruptions on the Company’s portfolio companies and underlying CLO vehicles the Company invests in, the failure by a portfolio company or CLO vehicle to satisfy certain financial covenants, including with respect to adequate collateralization and/or interest coverage tests, could lead to a reduction in its payments to us. In the event that a CLO vehicle fails certain tests, holders of debt senior to us may be entitled to additional payments that would, in turn, reduce the payments we would otherwise be entitled to receive. A portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by the Company or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, termination of the portfolio company’s loans and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize the portfolio company’s ability to meet its obligations under the debt securities that the Company holds.

Separately, the Company may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company, CLO vehicle or any other investment we may make. In addition, if a portfolio company goes bankrupt, even though the Company may have structured its investment as senior debt or secured debt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which the Company actually provided significant managerial assistance, if any, to that portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might re-characterize the Company’s debt holding and subordinate all or a portion of the Company’s claim to that of other creditors. If any of these occur, it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operating results and cash flows.

NOTE 16. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (cont.)

The Company places its cash in an overnight money market fund and, at times, cash and cash equivalents may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. In addition, the Company’s portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of portfolio companies, which will subject the Company to a risk of significant loss if any of these companies defaults on its obligations under any of its debt securities that the Company holds or if those sectors experience a market downturn.

Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Specifically, the Israel-Hamas war and conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility, could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations and could cause the market value of the Company’s common shares and/or debt securities to decline. These market and economic disruptions could also negatively impact the operating results of the Company’s portfolio companies.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

Our investment objective is to maximize our portfolio’s total return. Our primary focus is to seek an attractive risk-adjusted total return by investing primarily in corporate debt securities and in collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”), which are structured finance investments that own corporate debt securities. CLO investments may also include warehouse facilities, which are early-stage CLO vehicles intended to aggregate loans that may be used to form the basis of a traditional CLO vehicle. We operate as a closed-end management investment company and have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC, under the Code.

Our investment activities are managed by Oxford Square Management, LLC (“Oxford Square Management”), a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Oxford Square Management is owned by Oxford Funds, LLC (“Oxford Funds”), its managing member, and a related party, Charles M. Royce, a member of our Board who holds a minority, non-controlling interest in Oxford Square Management. Jonathan H. Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer, and Saul B. Rosenthal, our President, are the controlling members of Oxford Funds. Under an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), we have agreed to pay Oxford Square Management an annual Base Fee calculated on gross assets, and an incentive fee based upon our performance. Under an amended and restated administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”), we have agreed to pay or reimburse Oxford Funds, as administrator, for certain expenses incurred in operating the Company. Our executive officers and directors, and the executive officers of Oxford Square Management and Oxford Funds, serve or may serve as officers and directors of entities that operate in a line of business similar to our own. Accordingly, they may have obligations to investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of us or our stockholders.

We generally expect to invest between $5 million and $50 million in each of our portfolio companies, although this investment size may vary proportionately as the size of our capital base changes and market conditions warrant. We expect that our investment portfolio will be diversified among a large number of investments with few investments, if any, exceeding 5.0% of the total portfolio. As of September 30, 2023, our debt investments had

Table of Contents

stated interest rates of between 9.18% and 17.00% and maturity dates of between 0 and 77 months. In addition, our portfolio had a weighted average annualized yield on debt investments of approximately 13.10% as of September 30, 2023.

The weighted average annualized yield of our debt investments is not the same as a return on investment for our stockholders but, rather, relates to a portion of our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of our fees and expenses. The weighted average annualized yield was computed using the effective interest rates as of September 30, 2023, including accretion of original issue discount (“OID”) and excluding any debt investments on non-accrual status. There can be no assurance that the weighted average annualized yield will remain at its current level.

We have historically borrowed funds to make investments and may continue to borrow funds to make investments. As a result, we are exposed to the risks of leverage, which may be considered a speculative investment technique. Borrowings, also known as leverage, magnify the potential for gain and loss on amounts invested and therefore increase the risks associated with investing in our securities. In addition, the costs associated with our borrowings, including any increase in the management fee payable to Oxford Square Management, will be borne by our common stockholders.

In addition, as a BDC under the 1940 Act, we are required to make available significant managerial assistance, for which we may receive fees, to our portfolio companies. This assistance could involve, among other things, monitoring the operations of our portfolio companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising officers of portfolio companies and providing other organizational and financial guidance. These fees would be generally non-recurring, however in some instances they may have a recurring component. We have received no fee income for managerial assistance to date.

To the extent possible, we will generally seek to invest in loans that are collateralized by a security interest in the borrower’s assets or guaranteed by a principal to the transaction. Interest payments, if not deferred, are normally payable quarterly with most debt investments having scheduled principal payments on a monthly or quarterly basis. When we receive a warrant to purchase stock in a portfolio company, the warrant will typically have a nominal strike price, and will entitle us to purchase a modest percentage of the borrower’s stock.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, U.S. loan market performance improved versus the three months ended June 30, 2023. U.S. loan prices, as defined by the Morningstar/LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index, increased from 94.24% of par as of June 30, 2023 to 95.56% of par as of September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio of approximately $285.5 million in good faith in accordance with the Company’s valuation procedures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified investment valuation and investment income as critical accounting policies.

Investment Valuation

We fair value our investment portfolio in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (“ASC 820”) and Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Estimates made in the preparation of our financial statements include the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. We believe that there is no single definitive method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make.

Table of Contents

orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active; and Level3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. We consider the attributes of current market conditions on an on-going basis and have determined that due to the general illiquidity of the market for its investment portfolio, whereby little or no market data exists, substantially all of our fair valued investments are measured based upon Level 3 inputs as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Our Board of Directors determines the value of our investment portfolio each quarter. In connection with that determination, members of Oxford Square Management’s portfolio management team prepare a quarterly analysis of each portfolio investment using the most recent portfolio company financial statements, forecasts and other relevant financial and operational information. We also engage third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain of its syndicated loans and bilateral investments, including related equity investments, although our Board of Directors ultimately determines the appropriate valuation of each such investment. Changes in fair value, as described above, are recorded in the statements of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation.

Syndicated Loans (Including Senior Secured Notes)

In accordance with ASC 820-10, our valuation procedures specifically provide for the review of indicative quotes supplied by the large agent banks that make a market for each security. However, the marketplace from which we obtain indicative bid quotes for purposes of determining the fair value of our syndicated loan investments has shown attributes of illiquidity as described by ASC-820-10. During such periods of illiquidity, when we believe that the non-binding indicative bids received from agent banks for certain syndicated investments that we own may not be determinative of their fair value or when no market indicative quote is available, we may engage third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain syndicated investments that we own. The third-party valuation firms may use the income or market approach in arriving at a valuation. Unobservable inputs utilized could include discount rates derived from estimated credit spreads and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization multiples. In addition, Oxford Square Management analyzes each syndicated loan by reviewing the company’s financial statements, covenant compliance and recent trading activity in the security (if known), and other business developments related to the portfolio company. All available information, including non-binding indicative bids which may not be determinative of fair value, is presented to the Valuation Committee to consider in its determination of fair value. In some instances, there may be limited trading activity in a security even though the market for the security is considered not active. In such cases the Valuation Committee will consider the number of trades, the size and timing of each trade, and other circumstances around such trades, to the extent such information is available, in its determination of fair value. The Valuation Committee will evaluate the impact of such additional information, and factor it into its consideration of the fair value that is indicated by the analysis provided by third-party valuation firms, if any.

Collateralized Loan Obligations — Debt and Equity

We have acquired a number of debt and equity positions in CLO investment vehicles and CLO warehouse investments. These investments are special purpose financing vehicles. In valuing such investments, we consider the indicative prices provided by a recognized industry pricing service as a primary source, and the implied yield of such prices, supplemented by actual trades executed in the market at or around period-end, as well as the indicative prices provided by the broker who arranges transactions in such investment vehicles. We also consider those instances in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require a downward adjustment to the indicative price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. Additional factors include any available information on other relevant transactions including firm bids and offers in the market and information resulting from bids-wanted-in-competition. In addition, we consider the operating metrics of the specific investment vehicle, including compliance with collateralization tests, defaulted and restructured securities, and payment defaults, if any. Oxford Square Management or the Valuation Committee may request an additional analysis by a third-party firm to assist in the valuation process of CLO investment vehicles. All information is presented to our Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.

Table of Contents

Bilateral Investments (Including Equity)

Bilateral investments (as defined below) for which market quotations are readily available are valued by an independent pricing agent or market maker. If such market quotations are not readily available, under the valuation procedures approved by our Board upon the recommendation of the Valuation Committee, a third-party valuation firm will prepare valuations for each of our bilateral investments that, when combined with all other investments in the same portfolio company, have a value as of the previous quarter of greater than or equal to 2.5% of its total assets as of the previous quarter. In addition, in those instances where a third-party valuation is prepared for a portfolio investment which meets the parameters noted above, the frequency of those third-party valuations is based upon the grade assigned to each such security under its credit grading system as follows: Grade1, at least annually; Grade2, at least semi-annually; Grades3,4, and5, at least quarterly. Bilateral investments which do not meet the parameters above are not required to have a third-party valuation and, in those instances, a valuation analysis will be prepared by Oxford Square Management. Oxford Square Management also retains the authority to seek, on our behalf, additional third party valuations with respect to both our bilateral portfolio securities and our syndicated loan investments. Our Board retains ultimate authority as to the third-party review cycle as well as the appropriate valuation of each investment.

Refer to “Note 4. Fair Value” in the notes to our financial statements for more information on investment valuation and our portfolio of investments.

INVESTMENT INCOME:

Interest Income

Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. We generally restore non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in our judgment, is likely to remain current. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had three debt investments that were on non-accrual status.

Interest income also includes a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) component on certain investments in our portfolio. Refer to the section below, “Payment-In-Kind,” for a description of PIK income and its impact on interest income.

Payment-In-Kind

We have debt and preferred stock investments in our portfolio that contain contractual PIK provisions. PIK interest and preferred stock dividends are computed at their contractual rates and are accrued into income and added to the principal balances on the capitalization dates. Upon capitalization, the PIK portions of the investments are valued at their respective fair values. If we believe that a PIK is not fully expected to be realized, the PIK investment would be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends would be reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status once it becomes probable that such PIK will be ultimately collectible in cash. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no PIK preferred stock dividends were recognized as dividend income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no PIK interest was recognized as interest income.

Income from Securitization Vehicles and Equity Investments

Income from investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles (typically income notes or subordinated notes) is recorded using the effective yield method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon estimated cash flows, amounts and timing including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. We monitor the expected residual payments, and effective yield is determined and updated periodically, as needed. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity securities in the GAAP statements of operations differs from both the tax-basis investment income and from the cash distributions actually received by us during the period.

We also record income on our investments in certain securitization vehicles (or “CLO warehouse facilities”) based on a stated rate per the underlying note purchase agreement plus accrued interest or, if there is no stated rate, then an estimated rate is calculated using a base case model projecting the timing of the ramp-up of the CLO warehouse facility. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had no investments in CLO warehouse facilities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no income was recognized related to CLO warehouse facilities.

Other Income

Other income includes prepayment, amendment, and other fees earned by our loan investments, distributions from fee letters and success fees associated with portfolio investments. Distributions from fee letters are an enhancement to the return on a CLO equity investment and are based upon a percentage of the collateral manager’s fees above the amortized cost, and are recorded as other income when earned. We may also earn success fees associated with our investments in certain securitization vehicles or CLO warehouse facilities, which are contingent upon a repayment of the warehouse by a permanent CLO structure; such fees are earned and recognized when the repayment is completed.

PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

The total fair value of our investment portfolio was approximately $285.5 million and $314.7 million as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The decrease in the value of investments during the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, was due primarily to $15.0 million of debt repayments, $15.8 million of sales of investments, and net realized losses of $16.8 million, partially offset by net unrealized appreciation on our investment portfolio of approximately $21.9 million (which incorporates reductions to CLO equity cost value of $12.5 million), and $8.2 million of investments acquired.

A reconciliation of the investment portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 follows:

$103,000, less the effective yield interest income recognized on our CLO equity subordinated and income notes of approximately $12.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the reductions to CLO equity cost value of approximately $20.4 million represented the distributions received, or entitled to be received, on our investments held in CLO equity subordinated and income notes of approximately $37.3 million, plus the amortization of cost on our CLO fee notes of approximately $128,000, less the effective yield interest income recognized on our CLO equity subordinated and income notes of approximately $17.1 million.

(2)Totals may not sum due to rounding.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we purchased approximately $8.2 million in portfolio investments, which includes additional investments of approximately $3.5 million in existing portfolio companies and approximately $4.7 million in new portfolio companies. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we purchased approximately $84.2 million in portfolio investments, including additional investments of approximately $58.9 million in existing portfolio companies and approximately $25.3 million in new portfolio companies.

In certain instances, we receive investment proceeds based on the scheduled amortization of the outstanding loan balances and from the sales of portfolio investments. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized proceeds from the sales of securities of approximately $15.8 million and $14.6 million, respectively. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, we had loan principal repayments of approximately $15.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023, we had investments in debt securities of, or loans to, 19 portfolio companies, with a fair value of approximately $193.7 million, CLO equity investments of approximately $84.1 million, and other equity investments of approximately $7.7 million.

As of December 31, 2022, we had investments in debt securities of, or loans to, 20 portfolio companies, with a fair value of approximately $211.4 million, CLO equity investments of approximately $98.9 million, and other equity investments of approximately $4.3 million.

The increase in total investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The total principal value of income producing debt investments as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was approximately $260.2 million and $272.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, our debt investments had a range of stated interest rates of 9.18% and 17.00% and maturity dates of between 0 and 77 months compared to a range of stated interest rates of 6.37% to 12.73% and maturity dates between 3 and 89 months as of September 30, 2022. In addition, our total debt portfolio had a weighted average yield on debt investments of approximately 13.10% as of September 30, 2023, compared to approximately 10.41% as of September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, three debt investments were on non-accrual status with a combined fair value of approximately $0.5 million and total principal amount of approximately $30.3 million.

Income from securitization vehicles for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30 2022, was approximately $4.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively. Income from securitization vehicles for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, was approximately $12.8 million and $12.9 million, respectively. The total principal outstanding on our investments in CLOs as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, was approximately $312.3 million and $382.1 million, respectively. The weighted average yield on CLO equity investments as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, was approximately 9.7% and 9.0%, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, were approximately $6.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, were approximately $19.9 million and $17.1 million, respectively. These amounts consisted of base management fees, interest expense, professional fees, compensation expense, general and administrative expenses, excise tax, and net investment income incentive fees. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to higher net investment income incentive fees and excise tax, partially offset by a decrease in base management fees.

Expenses before incentive fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were approximately $5.4 million and $16.2 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, expenses before incentive fees were approximately $5.8 million and $17.1 million respectively.

The base management fee for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $1.2 million compared with $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The base management fee for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $3.6 million compared with $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. That decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due largely to a decrease in weighted average gross assets.

The net investment income incentive fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were approximately $1.2 million and $3.7 million respectively. There were no net investment income incentive fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. That increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to greater net investment income, coupled with our performance exceeding the total return requirement.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was approximately $2.5 and $3.1 million, respectively. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was approximately $8.7 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Interest expense primarily relates to our 5.50% unsecured notes due 2028 (the “5.50% Unsecured Notes”), 6.25% unsecured notes due 2026 (the “6.25% Unsecured Notes”) and 6.50% unsecured notes due 2024 (the “6.50% Unsecured Notes”).

Professional fees, consisting of legal, consulting, valuation, audit and tax fees, were approximately $479,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately $417,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Professional fees were approximately $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was approximately the same as the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Compensation expense was approximately $205,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately $235,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Compensation expense was approximately $662,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately $689,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Compensation expense reflects the allocation of compensation expenses for the services of our Chief Financial Officer, accounting personnel, and other administrative support staff.

General and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of directors’ fees, insurance, listing fees, transfer agent and custodian fees, office supplies, facilities costs, and other expenses, were approximately $458,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately $439,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. General and administrative expenses were approximately $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately $1.2million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Office supplies, facilities costs and other expenses are allocated to us under the terms of the Administration Agreement.

Excise tax was approximately $574,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately $252,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Excise tax was approximately $874,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately $252,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Incentive Fees

The net investment income incentive fee (“Net Investment Income Incentive Fee”) recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $1.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. There was no Net Investment Income Incentive Fee recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to the total return requirement. The Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the amount by which (x) the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds (y) the “Preferred Return Amount” for the calendar quarter. For this purpose, “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the calendar quarter minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement with Oxford Funds, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Refer to “Note 7. Related Party Transactions” in the notes to our financial statements.

The expense attributable to the capital gains incentive fee (the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee”), as reported under GAAP, is calculated as if the Company’s entire portfolio had been liquidated at period end, and therefore is calculated on the basis of net realized and unrealized gains and losses at the end of each period. That expense (or the reversal of such an expense) related to that hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to Oxford Square Management in the event of a complete liquidation of our portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement on such date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, no accrual was required as a result of the impact of net realized losses on our portfolio.

The amount of the Capital Gains Incentive Fee which will actually be payable is determined in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and is calculated as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement). The terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement state that the Capital Gains Incentive Fee calculation is based on net realized gains, if any, offset by gross unrealized depreciation for the calendar year. No effect is given to gross unrealized appreciation in this calculation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, such an accrual was not required under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Realized and Unrealized Gains/Losses on Investments

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized net realized losses on investments of approximately $13.5 million, which reflects the sale of multiple CLO equity investments.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, our net change in unrealized appreciation was approximately $13.9 million, composed of $8.4 million in gross unrealized appreciation, $10.2 million in gross unrealized depreciation and approximately $15.7 million relating to the reversal of prior period net unrealized depreciation as investment gains and losses were realized. This includes net unrealized appreciation of approximately $5.1 million resulting from reductions to the cost value of our CLO equity investments representing the difference between distributions received, or entitled to be received, on our investments held in CLO equity subordinated notes and fee notes, of approximately $9.2 million and the effective yield interest income recognized on our CLO equity

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized net realized losses on investments of approximately $16.8 million, which reflects the sale of multiple CLO equity investments and an extinguishment of one CLO equity investment, partially offset by a sale of a senior secured loan.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net change in unrealized appreciation was approximately $21.9 million, composed of $20.5 million in gross unrealized appreciation, $17.8 million in gross unrealized depreciation and approximately $19.3 million relating to the reversal of prior period net unrealized depreciation as investment gains and losses were realized. This includes net unrealized appreciation of approximately $12.5 million resulting from reductions to the cost value of our CLO equity investments representing the difference between distributions received, or entitled to be received, on our investments held in CLO equity subordinated notes and fee notes, of approximately $25.2 million and the effective yield interest income recognized on our CLO equity subordinated notes and the amortized cost adjusted income on our CLO equity fee notes of approximately $12.7 million.

Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was approximately $6.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was approximately $19.6 million and $14.1 million, respectively. That increase in net investment income was primarily due to an increase in interest income, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the net increase in net assets resulting from net investment income per common share was $0.11 and $0.37 (basic and diluted), compared to the net increase in net assets resulting from net investment income per share of $0.11 and $0.28 (basic and diluted) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we enter into a variety of undertakings containing a variety of warranties and indemnifications that may expose us to some risk of loss. The risk of future loss arising from such undertakings, while not quantifiable, is expected to be remote. As of September 30, 2023, we did not have any commitments to purchase additional investments.

Rights Offering

On June 22, 2023, we completed a transferable rights offering. We issued to stockholders of record on May 23, 2023 one transferable right for each three shares of our common stock held on the record date. Each holder of rights was entitled to subscribe for one share of common stock for every right held at a subscription price of $2.66 per share. On June 22, 2023, we issued a total of approximately 6.5 million shares. Gross proceeds were approximately $17.2 million. Approximately 1.7 million shares were purchased in the rights offering by affiliates of Oxford Square Management.

Distributions

In order to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, and to avoid corporate level tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we are required, under Subchapter M of the Code, to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and short-term capital gains to our stockholders on an annual basis.

To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders. Thus, the source of a distribution to our stockholders may be the original capital invested by the stockholder rather than our taxable ordinary income or capital gains. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is taxable ordinary income or capital gains. The final determination of the nature of our distributions can only be made upon the filing of our tax return. We have until October 15, 2024, to file our federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage requirements applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of favorable regulated investment company tax treatment. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.

The following table reflects the cash distributions, including distributions reinvested, per share that our Board has declared on our common stock since the beginning of 2022:

•We have entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with Oxford Square Management. Oxford Square Management is controlled by Oxford Funds, its managing member. In addition to Oxford Funds, Oxford Square Management is owned by Charles M. Royce, a member of our Board, who holds a minority, non-controlling interest in Oxford Square Management as the non-managing member. Oxford Funds, as the managing member of Oxford Square Management, manages the business and internal affairs of Oxford Square Management. In addition, Oxford Funds provides us with office facilities and administrative services pursuant to the Administration Agreement.

•Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal also currently serve as Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, at Oxford Gate Management, LLC, the investment adviser to Oxford Gate Master Fund, LLC, Oxford Gate, LLC and Oxford Gate (Bermuda), LLC (collectively, the “Oxford Gate Funds”) and Oxford Bridge II, LLC.

Rubin serves as the Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, and Gerald Cummins serves as the Chief Compliance Officer, respectively, of Oxford Gate Management, LLC.

•Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal currently serve as Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of Oxford Lane Capital Corp., a closed-end management investment company that invests primarily in equity and junior debt tranches of CLO vehicles, and its investment adviser, Oxford Lane Management, LLC. Oxford Funds provides Oxford Lane Capital Corp. with office facilities and administrative services pursuant to an administration agreement and also serves as the managing member of Oxford Lane Management, LLC. In addition, Bruce L. Rubin serves as the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Corporate Secretary of Oxford Lane Capital Corp. and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Oxford Lane Management, LLC, and Mr. Cummins serves as the Chief Compliance Officer of Oxford Lane Capital Corp. and Oxford Lane Management, LLC.

•Messrs.

As a result, certain conflicts of interest may arise with respect to the management of our portfolio by Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal on the one hand, and the obligations of Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal to manage Oxford Lane Capital Corp., Oxford Park Income Fund, Inc., Oxford Bridge II, LLC and the Oxford Gate Funds, respectively, on the other hand.

Oxford Square Management, Oxford Lane Management, LLC, Oxford Park Management, LLC and Oxford Gate Management, LLC are subject to a written policy with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities among the Company, Oxford Lane Capital Corp., Oxford Park Income Fund, Inc., Oxford Bridge II, LLC and the Oxford Gate Funds. Where investments are suitable for more than one entity, the allocation policy generally provides that, depending on size and subject to current and anticipated cash availability, the absolute size of the investment as well as its relative size compared to the total assets of each entity, current and anticipated weighted average costs of capital, among other factors, an investment amount will be determined by the adviser to each entity. If the investment opportunity is sufficient for each entity to receive its investment amount, then each entity receives the investment amount; otherwise, the investment amount is reduced pro rata. On June 14, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order permitting the Company and certain of its affiliates to complete

Table of Contents

negotiated co-investment transactions in portfolio companies, subject to certain conditions (the “Order”). Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions to the Order, the Company and certain of its affiliates are now permitted, together with any future BDCs, registered closed-end funds and certain private funds, each of whose investment adviser is the Company’s investment adviser or an investment adviser controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company’s investment adviser, to co-invest in negotiated investment opportunities where doing so would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, providing the Company’s stockholders with access to a broader array of investment opportunities. Pursuant to the Order, we are permitted to co-invest in such investment opportunities with our affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including, but not limited to, that (1) the terms of the potential co-investment transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the potential co-investment transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our then-current investment objective and strategies.

In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered related party transactions. In order to ensure that we do not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with us, we have implemented certain policies and procedures whereby our executive officers screen each of our transactions for any possible affiliations between the proposed portfolio investment, us, companies controlled by us and our employees and directors. We will not enter into any agreements unless and until we are satisfied that doing so will not raise concerns under the 1940 Act or, if such concerns exist, we have taken appropriate actions to seek board review and approval or exemptive relief for such transaction. Our Board reviews these procedures on an annual basis.

We have also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which applies to our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of our officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests. Pursuant to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, each employee and director must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict. Our Audit Committee is charged with approving any waivers under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. As required by the NASDAQ Global Select Market corporate governance listing standards, the Audit Committee of our Board is also required to review and approve any transactions with related parties (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).

Information concerning related party transactions is included in the financial statements and related notes, appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2023, all debt investments in our portfolio were at variable interest rates, representing approximately $290.4 million in principal debt. As of September 30, 2023, all but three of our variable rate investments were income producing. The variable rates are generally based upon the five-year U.S. Department of Treasury note, the Prime rate, SOFR, or LIBOR, and, in the case of our bilateral investments, are generally reset annually, whereas our non-bilateral investments generally reset quarterly. Although LIBOR ceased publication as of June 30, 2023, two of our investments still utilize LIBOR as of September 30, 2023, as rate resets had not yet occurred, and two of our investments will continue to use LIBOR on a synthetic basis until it ceases publication, which is expected to occur at the end of September 2024. We expect that future debt investments will generally be made at variable rates. Many of the variable rate investments contain interest rate floors.

Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, including relative changes in different interest rates, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing intervals between our assets and liabilities and the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flows. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest earning assets and our interest expense incurred in connection with our interest-bearing debt and liabilities. Changes in interest rates can also affect, among other things, our ability to acquire leveraged loans, high yield bonds and other debt investments and the value of our investment portfolio.

We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates.

Based on our Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2023, the following table shows the annualized impact on net investment income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates for our settled investments (considering interest rate floors for floating rate instruments), excluding CLO equity investments. The base interest rate case assumes the rates on our portfolio investments remain unchanged from the actual effective interest rates as of September 30, 2023. These hypothetical calculations are based on a model of the investments in our portfolio, held as of September 30, 2023, and are only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates. Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing interest rate sensitivity, it does not adjust for changes in the credit quality, size and composition of our portfolio, and other business developments, including a change in the level of our borrowings, that could affect the net increase (or decrease) in net assets resulting from operations. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the results under this hypothetical analysis.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2023 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings, if any, cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Item 1A (Risk Factors) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes known to us during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Risks related to the transition away from LIBOR.

Following their publication on June 30, 2023, no settings of LIBOR continue to be published on a representative basis and publication of many non-U.S. dollar LIBOR settings has been entirely discontinued. On July 29, 2021, the U.S. Federal Reserve System, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, formally recommended replacing U.S.-dollar LIBOR with SOFR, a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. In April 2018, the Bank of England began publishing its proposed alternative rate, the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”). Each of SOFR and SONIA significantly differ from LIBOR, both in the actual rate and how it is calculated. Further, on March 15, 2022, the Consolidation Appropriations Act of 2022, which includes the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (“LIBOR Act”), was signed into law in the United States. This legislation establishes a uniform benchmark replacement process for certain financial contracts that mature after June 30, 2023 that do not contain clearly defined or practicable LIBOR fallback provisions. The legislation also creates a safe harbor that shields lenders from litigation if they choose to utilize a replacement rate recommended by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. In addition, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates the publisher of LIBOR (ICE Benchmark Administration) has announced that it will require the continued publication of the one-, three- and six-month tenors of U.S.-dollar LIBOR on a non-representative synthetic basis until the end of September 2024, which may result in certain non-U.S. law-governed contracts and U.S. law-governed contracts not covered by the federal legislation remaining on synthetic U.S.-dollar LIBOR until the end of this period. Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined (e.g. the LIBOR Act now provides a uniform benchmark replacement for certain LIBOR-based instruments in the United States), the transition process is complex and it could cause a disruption in the credit markets generally and could have adverse impacts on our business financial condition and results of operations, including, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that continue to rely on LIBOR or which have been transitioned away from LIBOR to a different rate like SOFR and, in any case, could result in a reduction in the value of certain investments held by the Company.

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities

While we did not engage in unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2023, we issued 135,272shares of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan. This issuance was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The aggregate value for the shares of common stock issued under the distribution reinvestment plan during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $389,000.
